Photographer's Note
This is a close-up of a 22 meter-high God Wisnu statue that has been built on the top of Ungasan cliff, near Jimbaran Bay (Bali).
The statue, considered by some (not many I hope) to be the most spectacular in Bali (and even Indonesia), is conversely shunned by many Balinese as disrespectful. The extremely commercial nature of the setting in which the statue sits is also seen by many locals as totally inappropriate. I must say, as spectacular as the statue and surrounds are, I agree with the dissenting locals.

Hi there
I love the angle you've used here - it makes the statue seem overbearing and pompous.
